Group D now draws to a conclusion in Tuesday’s final pair of fixtures.

Spain go up against Croatia tonight as the defending champions look to extend their 100% record on the back of wins over Czech Republic and Turkey.

Vicente del Bosque’s men still need a point to top the group and avoid slipping to second place, where they’d be pitted against the winners of Group E, which looks likely to be Italy.

Croatia, meanwhile, are still reeling from a late capitulation against Czech Republic which saw them throw away a two-goal advantage with just 15 minutes left on the clock.

Turkey and Czech Republic go head-to-head in the other match. Fatih Terim’s men are one of only three sides yet to find the net in Euro 2016 and with just two shots on target, it’s fair to say they need to improve their shooting to stand any chance of progressing.

Bearing in mind that both sides were ranked in the bottom three for shots conceded inside the box after the first two rounds of fixtures, though, Fantasy managers will be optimistic of goals in the penultimate night of the group stages.

      1. KING_ZLATAN
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Belgium I believe ? Italy confirmed 1st

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No chance unless Belgium finishes 3rd.

      2. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

          This is the most likely opponent. 3rd place B and E also possible.

    • fitzy
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Italy vs Spain round of 16 likely.

      Do you just avoid both teams?

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No more than 2 -3 in total IMO

    • Gylfi Sigurdsson < That&…
      • 15 Years

      Yes perisic goal. Alla akbarrrrr!!!

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Unnecessary

      2. TJ_777

        Really mate are you 11

          Isnt this just like saying thank god?

    • Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Regardless of whether we've got him, dropped him, whatever - Perisic is the player of the tournament so far.

      1. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think you could argue Payet is player of the tourney so far

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Who did Perisic shippers get in?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Grosicki

      2. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Grosicki 😉

      3. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He looked good when he came on. Hard luck.

    • RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Who did I take out my WC? Sommer, Rami, Schär, Perisic, Fabregas and Milik... All replaced with blankers.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I took out triple Swiss defence but on the bright side, before WCing I had Ramos, Alba, Matuidi, Payet, Giroud so I'm quite happy now 🙂

        1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          If Ronaldo blanks tomorrow I'm doomed!

      2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Lol
        I have all those players ..... No wildcard used yet

        Did leave Perisic on bench though ...

    • Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      That yellow card for stripping gonna cost me the ML, I know it. 🙁

        the ladies here thought it was worth it 🙂

          • 11 Years

          Hahah

        2. Van Klinkert Delarosa

    • Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      When you have morata, fabregas, perisic and Croatia in your sweepstake.

      Times like this are why we love football

    • HamzaKhan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Glad I decided to keep Perisic instead of Hamsik :p

      Guys, for tomorrrow I have Giacherrini, Barzagli, Siggurdson, Munier and Raphael Guerrerio.

      Who is the best shout for captain out of these?

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Siggy.

    • Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      if spain face italy do we drop all our spanish players this is where it starts to get tough

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Only if you think Italy CS. If Spain CS then keep defenders and hope for good penalties.

      2. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I would, Italy are built for that type of game

    • TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Belgium will likely play the winner of Group F.

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      That was a nice finish.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Deflection.

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years

      Which 3rd place team will be facing which group's 1st ? Is there a fixed format or just drawing lots

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Depends on where all 4/8 finish.

    • Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone else leave Perisic on the bench??

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years

        umm no, that's not how this game works

    • GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Looks like Giaccherini gets a runout for me this week after all - he'll get me 1 point more than Ramos!

      Wish I had the balls to captain Perisic but never really considered him so can't complain.
